I am developing a kiosk application on a windows 7 Tablet.
A part of the application uses the on Screen Keyboard.
on screen Keyboard has a Tools Menu.
How can I remove this menu to have only a "simple" keyboard. Is there a registry entry or a local group policy to configure to definitely remove the menu ?

    Hello there,

    You can use the below registry address to make the modification to the layout.

    Navigate to the following location:

    HKLM

    SOFTWARE

    Microsoft

    Windows

    CurrentVersion

    Authentication

    LogonUI

    Open “ShowTabletKeyboard” and set it to “1” to enable it. Set it to “0” to disable it.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
